The Dangers of Dreaming

They told you of the dangers of love. The dangers of lust, the dangers of adrenaline, of speeding cars, of rash decisions and of strange men in dark alleys. They warned you about the hazards of loud music and about the perils of vodka shots. But they never told you about the dangers of dreaming. They never mentioned the way of out a day dream as you slowly feel yourself sink into a world of wishes and hopes rooted in nothing but your own aching heart and feverish imagination. And so you let yourself go under, sink far below the surface of everyday life and into a world that will haunt you with a beauty that always will be two inches away from your reaching fingers, always there, always out of touch.
